I must admit that fact that I enjoy keeping track of Rossi's story book adventures. I'm glad there are plenty of others who have made it their personal business to keep track of this colorful Italian. Makes it easy for me. Despite all of the shoot-himself-in-his-own-foot antics that Rossi seems to have done to himself, despite all the intentionally bad press derived from self-proclaimed experts, such as from SK, it seems to me that Rossi has yet to be proven beyond a shadow of doubt that he is a charlatan. SK has been relentless in the spoon feeding of his readership that Rossi is to be perceived as nothing more than a convicted criminal, while conveniently leaving out the fact that he was exhonerated from his prior convictions. But no matter. Rossi is like a cat that always seems to land on his feet. Granted, few have reason trust Rossi, and rightly so. But as far as I can tell the only thing that has "stuck" on Rossi has been insinuation after insinuation that he is nothing more than charlatan, or perhaps a convicted criminal with a record. On that point it would seem that Rossi has done little to dissuade skeptics that he isn't. To me, Rossi's behavior is akin to that of a carnival barker. I continue my vigil, wondering whether his eCats really work as advertised or will they turn out to be a three-headed calf preserved in formaldehyde. Since the competition appeaers to be growing stronger I'm less concerned about the continuing saga of Rossi's "tarnished" reputation since it is becoming likely that others will soon pick up the ball and deposit the winnings in their own cash register. I still hope that Rossi will eventually succeed in his grand quest, but we shall see. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
